Brilliant, layered guy. Leon Balogun’s point about being distant from Nigerian culture as a German-born player is quite understandable. It’s far easier for the UK-born guys to settle into the squad, in comparison with others who probably grew up in environments that didn’t have as many Nigerians. His point...

Wayne Rooney claims playing for Man United is MUCH harder than playing for Arsenal or Chelsea. “Man United, and I can't stress this enough, is a different club to other clubs. So when you, the names you just mentioned there, Lewis Hall, Ollie Watkins, for instance, whoever, I don't know them personally. When you're recruiting for Man United, the level of detail to go into that recruitment, which I don't think has been there over the last 10 years, I don't think it's been good enough. Alex Ferguson was a master at doing it. He'd do it himself.” And to be able to play for Man United is so much more difficult than it is to be able to play for a Chelsea or Arsenal, 100%. Liverpool probably is the closest to Man United with the history of the football club. But to play for Man United, to deal with everything else, the football is a small part of it. Whether you like it or not, it is a small part of it. To deal with everything else which goes on at the football club, with the media, the scrutiny on being a Man United player.” “So you have to get that recruitment right. I don't know whether Lewis Hall is good enough. You don't know whether Lewis-Skelly is good enough. You don't know if Ollie Watkins is mentally strong enough to deal with that. So you have to go into players' backgrounds. You have to go into where they're from, what's the upbringing, and is he strong enough to deal with this pressure?” “So there's so much detail which goes into it. That's why I think previously, with players Man United have brought in, some of them have crumbled. Some of them have not been able to deal with that.”

Jon Rahm on the LIV format: “Yeah, obviously there’s been a bit of a change. There was a lot more about LIV Golf that was attractive to me, right. Yeah, maybe the format was a set back in the past, but at the same time there’s a lot of positives to it as well. And one of the things that a lot of players kept mentioning is you don’t have a wave weather difference, where you can simply get unlucky and you’re out of contention for that tournament. It’s part of the game, I get it, but it’s something you don’t have to deal with anymore. So that part is a very nice aspect. The team is what really made it for me. Being able to be part of a team, represent a team, play for my teammates, with my teammates and against my teammates, is something that to me that has always been very, very special. When you get a victory to share, it’s always better to have a team to share it with. So it’s what was the most attractive part and when we started discussions it gets to a point where even though I’m ambitious, I’m not greedy. So there’s a give and take and the format is something that I can easily overlook, and I’m pretty sure I can learn to enjoy it, I’ll just have to get used to it, but I’m pretty sure I’ll learn to enjoy it. To be honest, the more I started thinking about it, the more I started thinking about my college days that were 3 day tournaments, 54 holes, and everybody warmed up together for the most part. So it shouldn’t be an environment I’m unfamiliar with.” This is from the LIV podcast called “Fairway to Heaven”. Full link:

Tom Brady reveals the overlooked reason practice squad players never succeed in the NFL It’s not a lack of talent. Brady watched it happen for 20 years. The pattern was undeniable. As soon as a practice squad player got promoted and had to perform under real pressure, they crumbled. It took years for Brady to understand why. “There’s 53 guys on the active roster and there’s now 15 guys on the practice squad. So there’s 68 players. But those practice squad players are important because if anybody on the active roster gets hurt, they can get elevated to the squad.” “These scout team receivers would come in and practice with the scout team and they do really well. And I’d be watching. I’m like, ‘Man, we got to get that guy. Let’s get him up on offense. He’s making a lot of plays.’” “Then all of a sudden, we’re like, ‘Hey man, you’re doing really well. You got to come over here and deal with the pressure of succeeding now that you have expectation.’” “And these guys are like, they weren’t prepared for it. So whatever we saw in practice against where there was not a lot of pressure, now when they’re put in a situation where there’s an expectation for performance, they’ve never had to personally deal with that and then they fail.” “And then what I realized was a lot of guys on those practice squads, they don’t want to be elevated to the roster.” “They’re very happy living this life where they could tell their family and friends, which I have no problem with that. But the reality is a lot of guys don’t want the pressure of dealing with top.” Twenty years in the league and seven Super Bowl rings later, Brady learned that talent wasn’t the hardest thing to find. It was people who actually wanted the pressure that comes with being great.
